From the front page of the Coloradoan, October 24th, 1997

This article was somewhat inaccurate. To clear a few things up:

Gene is not a Hewlett-Packard Co. Engineer.
I did NOT personally split all the wicks myself.
I could never have done anything like this myself, all of the party staff did candle splitting, which Gene was in charge of.
We did actually utter sentences other than "Let's party!"
(I'm glad they used the quote 'Something should be done')

It's a great picture, though I'm not in it.. ;)
